Gov. Chris Christie often jokes that the voters of New Jersey didn't elect him for his "charm and good looks," but to take on the fights previous governors shied away from. But one admirer raised eyebrows at a town hall meeting in Hopatcong, Sussex County, when she praised Christie's smarts and tenacious style as "hot and sexy." Amused, Christie quipped that he wanted the woman to write a note to his wife. (Video by Nyier Abdou/The Star-Ledger)

The Lake Hopatcong Commission is operating four aquatic weed harvesting machines this season to help control the 14 invasive weed species that have been identified in the 9-mile long Lake. The Commission believes a program which includes the removal of weeds is critical to maintaining the health of the lake. Too many weeds can create a drop in oxygen levels and lead to a fish die off. They also repair and maintain storm drains, conduct water tests and help educate residents about the use of low phosphorus fertilizers. (Video by Andre Malok/The Star-Ledger)
